Cause

Every ticket purchased for the VMHA Opening Faceoff 50/50 Raffle invests directly in the future of youth hockey across East Vancouver. At the start of this new season, local families face rising costs for ice time, specialized coaching, and essential hockey gear. By participating in this raffle, you directly lower those financial barriers and ensure that high-quality development programs remain accessible to every child in VMHA. Your support does more than just fund ice time; it builds teamwork, confidence, and lifelong friendships for local kids, giving them the tools they need to succeed both on the ice and in the community.
